UoH 2021 Question 17: Real analysis

Consider an economy with 2-goods. The set of all possible positive relative prices is given as: P={(p1,p2)∣p1,p2>0, and p1+p2=1}P = \{(p_1, p_2) \mid p_1, p_2 > 0,\ \text{and } p_1 + p_2 = 1\}P={(p1​,p2​)∣p1​,p2​>0, and p1​+p2​=1}. Identify the correct statements about the properties of set PPP:

I. PPP is convex. II. PPP is bounded. III. PPP is closed. IV. PPP is compact. V. PPP is empty.

Plain-text version

Consider an economy with 2-goods. The set of all possible positive relative prices is given as: P = {(p₁, p₂) | p₁, p₂ > 0, and p₁ + p₂ = 1}. Identify the correct statements about the properties of set P: I. P is convex. II. P is bounded. III. P is closed. IV. P is compact. V. P is empty. (A) III only is true (B) III and IV are true (C) I and II are true (D) V only is true.

Also written as: Consider an economy with 2-goods. The set of all possible positive relative prices is given as: P = {(p_1, p_2) | p_1, p_2 > 0, and p_1 + p_2 = 1}. Identify the correct statements about the properties of set P: I. P is convex. II. P is bounded. III. P is closed. IV. P is compact. V. P is empty.
